Sunday Salon: Tick Tock...the Weekend Slips Away

Right this minute | I've had breakfast, sucked down some coffee, did dishes, got the laundry going, had a shower, did hair and makeup, filmed a BookTube video, and fed the dogs. Now I have nothing to do except read until Greyson and David get home late this afternoon.

Feeling | Pretty good! I was a total slug yesterday. I slept toooo much and basically felt like a zombie all day.

Reading | I ditched Crazy Rich Asians for the moment. I have an iffy relationship with satire that goes on too long, and at nearly 500 pages, this book is pushing my patience. I'm not anywhere close to finished, but if I'm already a little annoyed, I might as well move on to something else. I picked up Matrimony, by Joshua Henkin, which has been on my TBR for probably seven years. Shame on me! It's really good so far, and I think I'll blow through it pretty quickly. I'm also still reading The Argonauts by Maggie Nelson. It's a thinky little book, and I'm soaking it up a bit at a time to try and get everything I can out of it. Finally, I picked up the most recent Ms. Marvel trade. This one is called "Generation Why." Absolutely love it so far. I just finished a section with a cameo from Wolverine!

Listening | To a lot of Taylor Swift. Stop looking at me that way. "Bad Blood" is addictive. And that video with all the lady ass kicking.

Watching | The Layover! I rarely watch TV during the week, but I do love some Tony Bourdain on the weekends.Promoting | The Estella Project, Season 3!!! Today is the last day to submit a book! The list of Must Read Books will go up tomorrow!

Loving | The best husband ever. He's been out of town for part of the week, and he may be out of town part of next week. He does sooooo much around here, and he's so supportive. I'm blessed.

Hating | Iron infusions. I thought I was done with my fifth one last week. Hematologist wants to sneak in two more. At least they gave me a week off for my veins to get right.

Exercising | Since I have had five iron infusions my fatigue is not nearly as bad. Not as short of breath. I'm planning to spring for some custom-fit running shoes soon and start walking/jogging.BookTubing | Yes! For the first time in ages. Check out this comics roundup I posted this morning. There's much gushing about Nimona, by Noelle Stevenson.Happy Sunday, friends! I hope the day is good to you!

I felt exactly the same way about Crazy Rich Asians....kind of fun for awhile, but went on way too long. I think it would make a much better Bravo reality show than a book! And, I love me some Taylor Swift as well :)

I love Taylor though I don't always willingly admit it! Bad Blood is pretty awesome and I've had Blank Space going through my head for months! I can see how Crazy Rich Asians would get a bit tedious. 500 pages is a lot of satire. So sorry about the iron supplements. Does not sound like fun but I'm glad you're starting to get some energy again. Have a great week!

Wasabi soy almonds! Is that...delicious? It sounds like I am not sure if that sounds delicious hmmmmm and I will probably maybe stick with chocolate almonds.

And also: Nimonaaaaaaaaaaaa! BEST. (I think it's going to be my favorite comic of 2015 too. I read The Wicked + the Divine this year, and that was awesome, but it's not a finished story, and Nimona is.)
